Session
Many regulations in many vertical industries as well as horisontal regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act point out the need for a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). But what is the state of the SBOM universe with competing standards and a growing set of tools, all with a different perspective on usage, content and clarity. The use of SBOMs vary from basic license compliance to advanced documentation of the development and build process with signed attestations.
In this talk, we give an update of where we are, what you can expect today and the next steps on your SBOM journey!
